    Problem is that's probably not going to happen unless the Kilt brothers fight each other. I mean yeah there's a chance Haye does it but who knows how likely that is.

    Well, that's the brothers fault, nobody elses.

    It does shag it up for everybody else, but it really, really pisses me off.
    Especially with contract negotiations, and the reported clauses with Haye.

    Can you imagine in the 90's if Holyfield had a contract offer like

    "If you beat me, I get a rematch. If you win that, then you've got to fight Lennox. Oh, and Lennox and I get a huge cut of your earnings while you do it."

    Challenger: 'why do I have to fight Lennox? You have the WBA belt. He has the WBC. WTF has that got to do with me fighting you?"

    Holy: "Cos Lennox is my mate, and that's how we roll. Fight us both, give us promotional rights, or **** off".

    Of course, they're only the conditions with somebody that has half a chance of winning.....

    and have you seen that contract? Or are you just assuming what exactly it said..:think And how about now is Haye a free agent NO.... And the three fights was something Haye stated he wanted it was partly Hayes idea and was quoted saying that he wanted it... you can look it up its not hard and has been posted numerous times on here as well as on major british news agencies.

    How many people know exactly what was in that contract? Half a dozen, a dozen maybe?

    I don't think Haye is blameless at all. But how many other fighters have had "minders" to try and avenge their defeats for them, or to be included in contract negotiations?

    I just want the 2 to be treated as completely separate fighters, just like everybody else in the world.

    To be fair he was calling out both of them, So even as two different fighters they both had beef with him. Unusual but so is the circumstances regarding it. And in the end Haye is the one who said he wanted t fight both and had no problem with it so he has no right to come back later and complain.

    and with the contract, Everything about the finances is heresay and especially with Hayes tendecy to talk a lot of shitt i have trouble taking anything he says at face value especially with how much he has said which has been outright fabricated.
